My Little Blob

After being a little worried yesterday due to some light brown spotting - my 1st U/S today went great!!! It was an internal u/s and baby measured right around where I expected (right around 7w - though the u/s tech said it's hard to measure EXACT this early).

When we first went in, the u/s tech asked me how far I thought I was. I replied with "7w3d". She said "It doesn't sound like you need a dating u/s". Umm...no, except my LMP makes me 12w5d. She then told DH he might want to move more towards my head (not feet) and sit down, and had ME put the nice big wand in. No wonder DH was so quiet after that! I told him it gives him a peek into what us women go through every year - and to get used to it!

We were able to see the little flickering of the baby's heart, but when I asked her if they could measure the heartrate she said they don't do it that early. Something about at a recent u/s conference she was at, they said that getting a close enough look that early could cause stress on the baby - so they'd prefer to wait.

DH was happy - but I think he was a BIT weirded out by the internal u/s. Also - I felt quite a bit more tired and nauseaus all day today, which I was glad for since I felt "too good" yesterday! Mom thinks I'm nuts that I like feeling sick...but it comforts me that baby is doing well.
